The newest women's Marine collection focuses on sea life to establish a message of beauty and time on the wrist. Taking inspiration from the Posidonia oceanica aquatic plant, Breguet brings invisible gem setting to the forefront as well as exquisit mother-of-pearl marquetry work. The dial is set with 85 baguette-cut stones weighing 2.56 carats for the arabesque-like plant. The bezel and case are set with another 123 baguette-cut stones weighing 7.13 carats. The nearly 10-carat timepiece houses an extra-thin self-winding mechanical movement with a white-gold rotor edged in diamonds.

With roots in jewelry as well as watches, it is no surprise that the beauty evident in Breguet's pendants, earrings and necklaces has found its way to its timepieces. Adorned in jewels, the delicacy of these timepieces is mirrored by intricate mechanism. Fragility is only a façade, however, as durability distinguishes these diamond encrusted clockworks. Wearing a Breguet isn't solely practical, but for the expressive.The Crazy collection is a prime example of Breguet's command of passion. Notable within this is the Be Crazy wristwatch made with 18-carat white gold. Set in staggered rows with 56 baguette diamonds, the timepiece expands to suggest a floral opening, a field of bamboo or a lattice of illusion. Similarly striking, the L'Orangie wristwatch elevates the effective simplicity of a daisy chain to a bangle bedazzled by diamond flowers. Encased in 18-carat yellow gold, spessartine garnets, rubies, pink tourmalines and yellow sapphires pave pretty petals. Operation rival's opulence as the timepiece further features self-winding movement.
